Learning Jquery

If you are learning Jquery two things are a must, other than your undying love for learning something new
1. Jquery in Action, THE book for Jquery - I dunno who of the two authors, Bear or Yehuda is funny or it cd be both - they truly make reading the book a pleasurable experience
2. Firequery - a firebug addon for trying out Jquery selectors and functions on any page - yes any page that has loaded on the browser, Jquerify the page first and then write jqueries to dirty the page to your heart's content

Took some time to get used to using firequery - but there seems to be a screencast on how to use it, check it out.
